Description
Writing the Pilot: Creating the Series by William Rabkin The television business has undergone significant changes since 2011. The way series are conceived, told and consumed have all evolved. New business models for broadcasters have emerged, affecting how shows are bought and produced. With the rise of streaming services, writers now approach a series differently depending on whether it's being watched week by week or binge-watched in three days. This shift has resulted in a change in storytelling pace, with some shows accelerating to keep up with viewer demand. The market for syndicated reruns has also changed, with most dramas now destined for streaming services. As the industry continues to adapt, writers must be aware of these changes and adjust their approach accordingly. In Writing the Pilot: Creating the Series, William Rabkin shares his insights on navigating this new landscape.
